Granted that diesel prices don't sky rocket like they have up here in NY and PA. $4.80 per gallon for diesel..... Which is why I didn't even consider the eco after some digging.

I think the ecodiesel has plenty of balls. Enough to pass easily on the highway and it gets up to speeds quick enough. The engine just doesn't make the typical roar when you step on it. Sounds like a gasser IMO. I haven't towed yet with it but I will soon. I am sure it will pull fine for what I need.
